Getting to work from Ledbury

From Ledbury the drive is along country roads, without going near a town centre. It is a rural drive, so a full manual licence matters, and the mileage supplement helps with the running costs.

A licence, not your own car on shiftYou drive yourself to work. Once you are there, school runs and days out are in the home's own cars.
Shifts you can plan aroundEarly, late and weekend shifts on a rolling rota published in advance, so your own commitments fit around work.
Rural roads, rural homesIf you already know the lanes around Ledbury, you will feel at home on this commute.

Why people from Ledbury work with us

Small homes, not a ward

A handful of young people in each home, so you know every one of them properly and they know you.

Paid to qualify

Your Level 3 Diploma in Residential Childcare is funded in full, and your salary goes up when you finish it.

No sleep-ins for care workers

Residential support worker roles do not include sleep-ins, so you go home at the end of your shift.

Help with the costs of working

Half your childcare costs back, up to £5,000 a year, and a monthly mileage supplement.

Questions from Ledbury applicants

Can I get to work by bus from Ledbury?

Not reliably. Our homes are rural and shifts start early, so you need a full UK manual driving licence and a way to get there. We pay a monthly mileage supplement towards the drive.

I live in Herefordshire. Can I still apply?

Yes. Where you live does not matter. What matters is that you can get to the home for early and late shifts.
